Vehicle Fleet of the Future

No matter whether it be a large vehicle fleet or a manageable number of company vehicles – there is a lot of potential in optimizing any vehicle fleet. This begins with the right choice of vehicle or appropriate financing and ranges from professional fleet management to fuel cards and recycling end-of-life vehicles. With its interdisciplinary know-how in the areas of fleet management, transport, CO2 reduction, electric mobility, charging infrastructure and photovoltaic plants as well as funding opportunities, TÜV AUSTRIA offers companies a unique portfolio of services. With “e-fleet”, TÜV AUSTRIA developed an offering in 2016, with which companies not only make a big contribution toward preserving the environment and set an example for greater awareness, but also save money. Experts have calculated that people who drive electric vehicles not only drive at significantly less cost than they would with conventional fuel but they also save around 35 percent in maintenance expenses. e-fleet helps save money e-fleet identifies instances of existing potential in a vehicle fleet and makes them transparent, managing them effectively and efficiently with the help of an innovative online administration portal.
